I have used DialAFlight several times for holidays and flights and the service never wavers. Some companies get you on board and then take you for granted but not DialAFlight.
I would 100% recommend these guys. They are honest, open, quick responding, helpful, funny, professional and always there to pick the phone up as soon as you dial.
I was recommended to DialAFlight by a colleague and have used them ever since. If you want what is verging on a private concierge travel service then no need to look further.
After trawling through no end of websites and visiting a High Street travel agent I came across DialAFlight only to realise that I could have saved myself so much time and effort.
DialAFlight instantly found me a great deal for a flight that left the following morning. The paperwork was sent speedily and we were all booked within just 20 minutes.

Alex ShentonVisited Queenstown | Posted on 29 Jul
Transfer times were quite tight - had a delay at Wellington coming home so my suitcase didn't make the connection. Apart from that everything else was excellent.
Maureen PearceVisited Wellington | Posted on 28 Jul
I have used DialAFlight on many occasions and that in itself says something about their service. Knowing that Marco and his team are at the end of the phone is reassuring

Oliver and the team made a complicated itinerary as clear and simple as possible. Dealing with DialAFlight is like talking to old friends. We wouldn't deal with any other company, and have recommended them to all our friends and family.

Dale was so helpful, made everything so easy. Thank you for all your help and advice.
Would highly recommend.
Sandra NewtonVisited Queenstown | Posted on 05 May
Maybe it would’ve been good to reinforce verbally that we did not leave and come back to the same airport.
Linda CurrinVisited Auckland | Posted on 03 May
Friendly, knowledgeable and professional service. Second time using DialAFlight. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

The whole experience was fantastic! Isla Lawson went to great lengths to help us plan our holiday to New Zealand and showed great patience to ensure we got the most suitable flights. Being senior citizens this process can be a challenge but the help we received was much appreciated.t.
